The man push­ ed his way in. “I want my daughter, where is she?" he said in a low voice. His eyes blazed. “Be quiet. She’s Ihere—asleep.” Mallory brushed Dick aside and strode into the living room. His eyes fell on Karen, sleeping by’the fire. He stopped, whirled on Dick. “I ought to shoot you down!" Dick did not answer, but he no­ ticed that Mallory kept his hands in his pocket. “She has had trouble enough al­ ready without adding that." Dick’s voice was firm. He was not afraid.

Where to?” “Anywhere." - “China. India. Madagascar? I once 'knew a woman who went there, honest I did." .
